With this volume, your students will gallop into the vibrant world of the "Blue Rider"! The outstanding artist group of German Expressionism captivates children in a special way through their colorful paintings and bold simplification of forms. They will get to know significant artists of classical modernism, such as August Macke, Franz Marc, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Gabriele Münter, along with their works. They can express their creativity in various ways: creating collage pictures, letting a magical forest grow in a peek-a-boo shoebox, stamping a desert city, setting up an aquarium in a mason jar, or building a chirping machine out of wire. Many great teaching suggestions with practical tips make it easy for teachers from other subjects to inspire children with the bold and creative movement of this artist group. This is also suitable for special education.
